The CHAN 2024 Group A clash between Kenya and Zambia is set for Sunday, August 17, 2025, at Uhuru Park, Nairobi.
This marks a significant moment, as it will be one of the first major competitive international matches hosted at the newly refurbished Uhuru Park since its transformation into a multi-purpose public and events venue. The match carries high stakes for both teams — Kenya will be looking to secure crucial points to keep their qualification hopes alive, while Zambia aims to strengthen their grip on the top spot in the group.
Security and crowd management are expected to be under heavy scrutiny after CAF recently fined the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) over safety breaches during the Morocco fixture at Kasarani, warning that non-compliance could force Kenya to host matches elsewhere.
Fan interest is already high, and with Uhuru Park’s central location, a massive turnout is anticipated, potentially setting a new attendance record for the revamped venue.
